Abstract
A review of the basic theories that have been given for charge transport by the Fröhlich mechanism of moving charge-density waves is given in this book in the chapter by Fukuyama and Takayama. This chapter will review the theory of and evidence for depinning of incommensurate CDWs that are pinned by weak impurities by quantum tunneling. By weak is meant that a single impurity cannot pin the phase of the wave but pinning results from fluctuations in impurity concentration as suggested by the theories of Fukuyama and Lee [1] and Lee and Rice [2].
